Last Friday I ran 6.5 km at the annual Firmenlauf. Quite a party with over 3700 participants. Took 6 minutes before I crossed the starting line ‘cos of the huge crowd of runners and walkers. Wow. Quite impressive.<\/p>\n

I ran slowly and steadily from start to finish. Proud to say I didn’t stop running even though my innermost really wanted to stop. <\/p>\n

I think I like taking part in races. (How do you say “Volkslauf” in English?<\/a> It’s difficult to translate). It gives me a measurable goal to train for. <\/p>\n

Next seasonal goal is to participate in a 10 km run. I thought the Birsegg run<\/a> would fit in nicely at the end of August. Or maybe the 10 km version on Basel Marathon day on 28th September?<\/p>\n

I’ve been googling training plans. Things I’ve read:<\/p>\n

I’ll need to train longer. 60 mins to 90 mins.<\/p>\n

Means more commitment. Sometimes just getting out the door is so hard. <\/p>\n

Short 10 minute runs are better than skipping a run.<\/p>\n

Include longer, slow runs.<\/p>\n

Cycling is good. Swimming and aqua jogging is good ‘cos there’s no impact.<\/p>\n

\"sportiva\"\/<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve been thinking about goals and systems<\/a>. The system in this particular scenario is to get out and run regularly. Even if it’s a short jog before work.<\/p>\n

\"close<\/a><\/p>\n

Even though I’ve run 10 km before, I might start a jog log here or on Twitter<\/a> just to keep track. Writing helps. And ‘cos all the personal blogs about everyday life are gone. <\/p>\n
